The panic of 1893 was an economic depression that began in 1893. Investors started cashing in their investments after a failure in the wheat crop of Buenos Aires. This caused a shock on the gold in the U. S. Treasury. People started panicking and started withdrawing all of their money from the bank causing bank runs.
